On May 9, 2021, Davin and her two school-age children, Alice (7) and Wesley (5), moved from Kosciusko, MS, to (Desoto County school district) Hernando, MS, to work at Southern Roots Nursery. A week after, she started to work cultivating plants. However, Davin was let go three months later because they had too many workers. On September 1, 2021, Davin moved to a different residence in the same school district to work potting flowers at Horizon Nursery, and she started work two weeks later. After working for ten months at Horizon Nursery, the family moved to Union, MS, on August 23, 2022, because the rent was cheaper and Tree Lady’s Nursery was hiring. Davin applied upon her arrival, but the nursery owner tells her they already have too many workers, so Davin decides to clean houses instead.
